Iglesia de la Natividad de María, Baroque church in Cunduacán, Mexico.
Iglesia de la Natividad de María is a Baroque church in Cunduacán featuring white walls and ornate decorative elements typical of Mexican religious architecture from that era. Inside, twelve burial slabs visible through glass floor panels contain the remains of notable local citizens from the 1800s.
The building was constructed between 1715 and 1725 and served as headquarters for the Holy Inquisition Commission of the Tabasco Province starting in 1806. This role made it a significant religious and administrative center in the region.
The church is dedicated to the Virgin Mary and its white facade remains a focal point in the town center. You can observe how this place continues to serve as a gathering spot for religious observances and community events today.
The church welcomes visitors during regular hours and continues to host religious services throughout the week. Plan your visit around service times to avoid disrupting worship, and approach the space respectfully.
During an anti-religious campaign from 1919 to 1934, the building was repurposed as a school rather than demolished. This conversion allowed one of the town's most important structures to survive that turbulent period.
